Data Science newsletter 2017-09

The Data Science community group in Computas work on monthly newsletters that we will publish continously on this blog. The first newsletter out is the one for September, where we have divided the content into three different sections: «Getting started», «Beginner Tutorials», and «Advanced». We hope you enjoy it!

Getting started

This section includes links to articles where one gets an overview of machine learning. No code, no math, just plain english.

This guide is for anyone who is curious about machine learning but has no idea where to start. I imagine there are a lot of people who tried reading the wikipedia article, got frustrated and gave up wishing someone would just give them a high-level explanation. That’s what this is.

The goal is be accessible to anyone — which means that there’s a lot of generalizations. But who cares? If this gets anyone more interested in ML, then mission accomplished.

A bit of math

Well written

Nice comparisons

Advanced

This section includes links to resources where you have to make a bigger effort. But it pays off.

We’re going to create a chat-bot framework and build a conversational model for an island moped rental shop. The chatbot for this small business needs to handle simple questions about hours of operation, reservation options and so on. We also want it to handle contextual responses such as inquiries about same-day rentals. Getting this right could save a vacation!
